Subscriber Administration Planning

Subscriber administration is a multi-step process, and therefore has multiple forms that match the data entry process step-by-step. Subscriber administration follows these steps:

1.The Extension Directory is downloaded from the switch. This information is used to update the local extension directory used by AUDIX Voice Power and FAX Attendant. In all cases, the information downloaded takes precedence if the information in the local directory does not match.

2.Additions and deletions of AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant subscribers are recorded in the local extension directory and are propagated to the switch by adding or deleting extensions from the default Call Coverage group and making other changes as necessary. Physical extensions are not deleted from the switch database, they are only disconnected from the AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant configuration. "Special" extensions that are not part of the System Numbering Plan are added and deleted as necessary for use in AUDIX Voice Power/FAX Attendant.

You record the basic Extension Directory information on FORM DX in the AT&T AUDIX Voice PowerTM/FAX Attendant SystemTM Planning and Implementation document.

3.Once the basic information has been established for an extension, other operational parameters are requested. This includes whether the extension has call coverage provided by the switch, whether this is a new "special" extension, whether an automatic dialing button is to be programmed for the station set, and the subscriber’s associated private fax extension. (For additional information, see Types of Fax Subscribers later in this chapter.)

You also record this information on FORM DX.

4.The voice associated parameters for the subscriber are entered. You record this information on FORM DA. (FORM DA is on the same sheet of paper as FORM DX.)

5.Finally, the fax associated parameters for the subscriber are entered. You record this information on FORM DF. (FORM DF is on the back of FORMS DX and DA.)
